    I usually put about 3 or 4 new packing washers in when I do a carb on the high speed needle.

    FWIW, I make up my own packing ‘rope’ from the +yellow+ Teflon plumber’s tape. Cut a length, stretch it well, then twist it into a strand..

    I’ve used this for packings in everything from carburetor needles to Coleman lantern valves to household faucets and garden hose sillcocks.
